Looking Through the Wide Angle Lens

My son is at the precipice.  I remember how it felt when I graduated from college and then I was 'waiting' for my life to start.

My son graduated mid-March, he proposed to his gf this last Saturday, and he has a job interview tomorrow.

I like Britt.  She is sweet and has a lot of the same values as he does.  She thinks he is sweet and handsome and just the best.  He thinks she is gorgeous and sweet...although he says she is surprisingly shallow about some things.  I told him to be patient and help her grow.  She hasn't exactly had the best of examples around her. 

Her family had an Easter egg hunt at the family dinner at her grandma's horse farm.  They staged it to help TJ with the proposal.  Her step-dad said there was a special large egg with money in it.  TJ put the ring box in it and they told him where they hid it.  He 'found' it, opened it up and handed her the egg to see what was inside.  And as she pulled it out of the egg, he went down on one knee and asked her to marry him.  She choked up, said, "Yess!" and kissed him.  She has a good story for the kids.

Now TJ is getting everything together to go for an interview...for a summer job...that is basically a 'try out' for a more permanent gig.  It is for a company that owns radio broadcast stations around the US.  The job is for their summer promotions teams for onsight locals and concerts. 

Bethany has yet to land herself a summer job...or any job.  She is hoping that she will be included in some of the opportunities the school has for internships to set up and run the boards for concerts.  They get paid pretty good.

I wish I had something fun to do that made me money.  but then again, if you HAVE to be there, even if it is for money...it kinda takes the fun out of it.

I have started back on my exercise and change to healthy foods.  I have until august 2015...so I am not fat for the wedding pictures.
